      Claim #: ******* I have purchased travel insurance from GOREADY INSURANCE (formerly called April) for an overseas trip.Upon return in August 2022, I have filed a claim for a Trip Interruption due to a natural disaster. BROADSPIRE is the agency that is handling the claim. Handling it very poorly. I have provided pieces of documentation such as receipts, photos, and news articles of the natural disaster with the locations affected where I resided. I have read the benefits agreement many times to make sure that I am entitled to what I am claiming. I provided documentation that are reasonable for a Trip Interruption claim. I requested that they provide me with a black and white statement in the agreement whether my receipts are not acceptable and why I can't get a resolution after many months. No clear response.It is now March 2023 and the issue has never been resolved. BROADSPIRE has been kicking back my claim tagging it as Trip Cancellation when I am filing for a Trip Interruption. Very different claims with different documentation needed. For instance, agent has been putting remarks to "provide letter from airline about cancellation." Again, it is not a Trip Cancellation. I keep getting automated e-mails from an agent that cannot be reached personally to clarify any misunderstanding. The agent is *************************. I can only try to communicate with them through uploaded Word docs in the BROADSPIRE claims portal as advised by *******. That I do not think agent is reading. They are sitting on my claim for months and months and if I don't do anything it may just sit there until a year after. They can't bothered to communicate or understand the situation of the customer. Treating their customers as a number. I understand I am not the only claim being handled but it's been way too long. I thought purchasing travel insurance was going to be beneficial. It has been frustrating and the customer service is not there at all. They do not care at all! It's insane.

      I purchased a plane ticket on Mytrip.com. When I got to ***** I found my flight was cancelled with no notification on **** air, I had to buy my way onto another flight on Jin air. I bought trip insurance through Xcover, they immediately put it through to Broadspire A Crawford company. I have uploaded, faxed, mailed my documents multiple times but they keep closing out my claim saying that they have received no communication from me. I have been in contact via email with someone at the company but have been unresponsive as well. Today I got another notice after sending multiple emails over the last two months. I believe these companies should be looked into for fraud. I purchased their services, Mytrip claims the flight existed while I'm at the airline in ***** telling me it's cancelled and that it's my problem. My bag was lost for four days which I had to pay $37 to have found on top of everything. The travel insurance that I purchased has given me the run around for the past 6 months. I am happy to provide all of my documentation but I'm not really sure what the next steps are. I'm sure there's all sorts of incidents like this and I probably won't get my money refunded but I hope that putting them on the radar will at least do something. I've spent hours trying to contact multiple companies and can you even take them to small claims court? Is it worth spending hundreds of more dollars for $600 when every effort has already gone to nothing?Thanks for your time and consideration.

                                      Policy Number:                    8TNJ7-6MWQD-INS
                                      Date of Loss:                        September 22, 2022
                                      Type of Loss:                        Trip Interruption
                                      Insurance Company:          ******************


      We are in receipt of the correspondence for the above referenced complaint that was received on March 21, 2023, and in reference to the above captioned claim,adjudicated by Broadspire.  Broadspire Services, Inc. (Broadspire), a subsidiary of Crawford & Company, is a third party administrator assigned to act on behalf of ****************** to process claims for plans sold by ********************** Services, LLC

      In this complaint, ****************** has expressed frustration with the length of time taken to resolve the above referenced claim and the lack of communication during the claim process. We have reviewed our file materials and we offer the following in response.

      On October 3, 2022, the Broadspire office received notification of the loss for the above referenced claim. Broadspire acknowledges that there was a significant delay in the issuance of the acknowledgement letter and claim form,which occurred on November 21, 2022, and for this we sincerely apologize.

      On December 12, 2022, ****************** began submitting supporting documentation to the file via our secure portal and the claim was assigned to an adjuster for review. On December 20, 2022 the assigned adjuster reviewed the documentation and determined the following documents were pending to make a coverage decision:

      Completed claim forms (signed and dated)
      Proof of payment(s) for the trip (i.e., itemized travel invoice, e-ticket or paper ticket, hotel charges, service fees and other accommodation expenses or credit card statements)
      Confirmation of the reason for the Trip Cancellation, Interruption or Delay (i.e.,  completed physician statement, confirmation of death of immediate family member or documentation confirming any other non- medical cause of loss)
      Cancellation letter from tour operator/agency (with cancellation policies)
      Penalty letter or penalty terms from the affected travel company, carrier, lodging or other provider
      Documentation showing any refunds (if applicable)
      Receipts for any additional/out of pocket expenses  (Note: Reimbursement of same limited by policy terms and conditions)
      Medical Records from treating Physician and/or signed HIPAA medical records release form,  (if applicable)

      An email was sent to ****************** advising of the pending documentation on the same day. On December 21 and December 22, 2022, ****************** submitted additional documentation to his file via our secure portal, which was reviewed by the adjuster on January 5, 2023. Several requests and submissions were received and reviewed, however, pertinent information to make a coverage decision was still pending.

      On March 20, 2023, after exceeding the ninety (90) days of requesting the required documentation needed to make a coverage decision for the above referenced claim, a ninety (90) day closing letter was sent to ****************** via email.

      Upon receipt of the above referenced complaint, a member of the management team reviewed the file and determined that we were indeed pending the following information:
      Completed claim forms (signed and dated)
      Confirmation of the reason for the Trip Cancellation, Interruption or Delay (i.e.,  completed physician statement, confirmation of death of immediate family member or documentation confirming any other non- medical cause of loss)

      A call was placed to ******************, and a detailed voicemail was left requesting for him to return the call on March 29, 2023. Based on the documentation received, payment in the amount of $37.00 for the lost luggage fee, was requested for ****************** on March 31, 2023, with the following the check number: **********. We are unable to extended coverage for the Trip Interruption part of ******************** claim because the reason for the loss, the airline stating his flight did not exist does not meet the policy criteria of a Covered Event. We were able to speak with ****************** by telephone on March 30, 2023 to confirm the details of his loss and advise of the coverage decision.

      Please allow **** business days for the check to arrive via **** mail.

      Pertinent policy language follows:

      Customer Answer

      It is mostly satisfactory overall.  It states that a message was left and things were resolved over that manner.  I did get in contact with someone over the phone and they told me that my event isn't covered under their coverage.  It's very unusual and while I think they are still side stepping responsibility me not liking their response isn't enough.  Though there is still confusion as to this:

       

      "We will also provide reimbursement for unused air  arrangements, less any refunds paid or payable, provided  that these are not flights scheduled to travel to your Trip destination or flights scheduled to your origin of departure  on your Trip, and provided that these are not flights within  24 hours of your Scheduled Departure Date or Scheduled  Return Date."

       

      I have unused air arrangements, my flight never was used.  Yet they say trip cancellation without informing me isn't covered under their list, which it is not, yet this language suggests the flight I paid for should be reimbursed.  I assume that since I bought a flight within 24 hours of my scheduled departure date that excludes me from my coverage from them.  The suggestion from the Broadspire agent was to take it up with my credit card company.

       

      I don't recall what is actually present when buying trip protection but maybe there can be a suggestion that presents these reasons before purchase.  Clicking a box assuming that these kinds of things are covered then a company trying to get out of being responsible for their mess up allowing all responsibility to fall on the consumer is bad practice.  I'll consider the case resolved and I've posted accurate reviews to all of the services I purchased and hopefully that's enough to prevent someone else from purchasing their services.  I'm just tired of so many companies taking advantage of people.  

       

      Thanks for your time and consideration.

      In this complaint, ***************** has expressed frustration with the length of time taken to resolve the above referenced claim and frustration with the claim process, stating false commitments were made. We have reviewed our file materials and we offer the following in response.

      On December 8, 2022, the Broadspire office received notification of the loss for the above referenced claim. On December 13, 2022, the acknowledgement letter and claim form were sent to ***************** via email. On December 19, 2022, ***************** submitted supporting documentation to the file via our secure portal.  The claim was assigned to an adjuster for review on December 21, 2023  However, the claim was not reviewed by the assigned adjuster until January 25, 2023, and for this delay we sincerely apologize.  On January 25, 2023, the adjuster provided a status via email explaining that his file was under management review. 

      On February 14, 2023, the adjuster spoke to ************** by phone advising that the recommendation for the  claim was still under review by management. As the potential exposure of the claim was over Broadspires payment authority, the Team Manager notified the adjuster that we would need to prepare the claim file for referral to the underwriter, ******************, for review and approval.  On February 21, 2023 the adjuster attempted to call ************** and left a voice mail to return the call.

      Unfortunately,there was a delay in sending the claim file to the underwriter.  The full claim file was sent to the underwriter on March 13, 2023, and for this delay we also apologize.  Following the underwriters review, Broadspire received directive to request additional documentation from **************** physician to rule out a pre-existing condition per policy terms.  The adjuster reached out to ************** by phone that day and advised of the additional documentation needed.  ************** indicated that his condition was not pre-existing and would not be providing any additional documentation, and instead he would be filing suit.  As we did not have the appropriate documentation required by the insurer to prove *************** loss, the adjuster sent a follow up letter by email to ************** on March 16, 2023 indicating the pending documentation required and closed the claim file.

      Pertinent policy provisions follow:

      PRE-EXISTING CONDITION means a Sickness or Injury during the 180-day period immediately prior to your
      effective date for which you or your Traveling Companion: (1) received, or received a recommendation for, a
      diagnostic test, examination, or medical treatment; or (2) took or received a prescription for drugs or medicine.  Item 2 of this definition does not apply to a condition which is treated or controlled solely through the taking of prescription drugs or medicine and remains treated or controlled without any adjustment or change in the required prescription throughout the 180-day period before coverage is effective under this Policy.

      On March 17, 2023, Broadspire was notified of BBB complaint ********. Upon receipt of the complaint, the file was reviewed by a member of the management team. It was determined that the following items are still pending in order to make a coverage decision:

      1.             Confirmation of the reason for the Trip Cancellation (Please provide a copy of your additional medical records review.)
      2.             Medical Records from treating Physician and/or signed HIPAA medical records release form,  (if applicable)

      Should ************** choose to upload additional documentation, we will reopen his claim and review the claim in its entirety against the policy language and provide a status update.

      For faster service, ************** may upload the required documents to:

      Complaint: 19427434

      I am rejecting this response because: Everything was sent properly the first time, the above attachments verify it was approved , I was also told the check had been registered and was in the mail, I ask if i could pay to have it shipped where it would be tracked, that was denied, three weeks went by and I called back to have then give me another excuse that they needed yet something else. Everything in that response is a distortion of any kind of the truth. Their own rep told me she did not know what was going on and the next day they sent me an email and closed the claim because I hadn't responded in time. I have all the documentation and would like for them to show what documentation they didn't receive and need.

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because:notice in the above attachment's that clearly state that everything was uploaded and received properly. Notice the third attachment claiming they closed the claim because their was not a response in 90 days from the initial date. This is ridiculous and clearly the truth does not matter to these people. Just read the three emails attached. Please ask for any documentation they have where they asked me for additional information. That's simply a lie. ***************** said (That the check was written and registered) and mailed and three weeks went by and I had to call they did not have a doctor's ********* and wasn't sure what they needed. I told her that its simply another fabrication and I would file suit to get the money that's rightfully owed. That *********s still holds true today, but that will be their choice.The absurdity of their responses is based on not one single piece of documentation, What is true that it is unfortunate that anything could happen like this. I've added confirmation of Doctors ********* as well.

      We stayed at an Airbnb location in ****** in Jan 2023. The Airbnb was broken into and we got robbed of the money we left at the location when we went out sightseeing. We have made a police report and submitted the information to Airbnb. Airbnb informed us that their claim adjuster (Crawford and *** should handle this case. Crawford and *** rejected the claim without providing any rationale, basis or reason. We have reached out to them various times over the past months without a response. We got robbed approx. $5000 USD. We are hoping that this complaint can give us a fair resolution.Thank you

      I am an employee of the *********************************. My wife recently had a baby and I went on Paid family leave in which the company i am complaining about is responsible for my paid benefits. Half of the transaction was processed smoothly, but once I requested my right to an extension, the transaction was no longer processed. The request was made January 20th for an extension until March 3rd, at which point it was received and recorded. Never was it processed until I realized i didnt get paid February 21st. The extension was never processed and when I was given the run around until Feb. 27th 2023 that it was finally approved, it was not processed expectedly in an urgent manner. Newborns can be very expensive and I cant afford a lapse in payment. This is unacceptable. I have been put through more unnecessary stress in an already stressful time. I hope they clean up their act and this doesnt happen to anyone else.

      In June of 2022 I had booked a flight to and from ******** ***** through booking.com and Lufthansa. I was informed that I the airfare was non-refundable so it was suggested that i get insurance for it, which i did. Unfortunately in August 2022 i had injured myself and one of our pets became severely ill and we were not able to take the trip. i filled out all the claim information and sent the documentation, which showed as received and that it had been reviewed. Then i received a 60 day letter claiming they hadn't heard from me, and i went back and forth with them sending all past emails and documentation again, then i was told booking.com already refunded the money to me, which was false. So i was told i had to get in touch with booking.com to prove that i did not receive the refund, which i did and forwarded to Crawford. This morning i received a 90 day notice that i never responded. And it seems like they are pulling reasons out of the air and not looking at anything i have sent them. I'm very frustrated and feel like i've been scammed.

      In this complaint, **************** expressed frustration with the required documentation requested and the length or time taken to resolve her claim. We have reviewed our file materials and we offer the following in response.

      On September 17, 2022, Broadspire received first notice of loss for the above referenced claim. Broadspire acknowledges that there was a significant delay in the issuance of the acknowledgement letter and claim form, which occurred on November 15,2022, and for this we sincerely apologize. On December 6, 2022, a thirty (30)day letter was sent to **************** regarding the status of her claim and the pending documentation required to review for coverage. On December 8, 2022, *************** began submitting documentation to her file via our secure portal. On December 9, 2022, the claim was assigned to an adjuster for review.

      On December 29, 2022, the assigned adjuster reviewed the submitted documentation and determined that the following documents were pending in order to make a coverage decision:

      Cancellation letter from tour operator/agency/carrier  (with cancellation policies)
      Penalty letter or penalty terms from the affected travel company, carrier, lodging or other provider
      Documentation showing any refunds (if applicable)

      An email was sent to **************** on December 29, 2022, advising of the pending documentation. On January 24, 2023, still pending additional documentation, a sixty (60) day letter was sent to *************** via email. Later that day, **************** submitted additional documentation to her file via our secure portal. On February 1, 2023, the additional documentation was reviewed by the assigned adjuster and it was determined that we were still pending the following documentation:
      Documentation showing any refunds (if applicable)

      Another email was sent to **************** on the same day. On February 28, 2023, after ninety (90) days of requesting the required documentation needed to make a coverage decision for the above referenced claim, a ninety (90) day closing letter was sent to **************** via email.

      Upon receipt of the above referenced complaint, a member of the managememt team reviewed the entire file again and it was confirmed that we are still pending confirmation from the airline (Lufthansa) if there were any refunds or flight credits issued to **************** for the cancelled flights. We have reached out to **************** and left a voicemail to discuss. We have also attempted to contact Lufthansa on ***************** behalf to help expedite the review of her claim, however, we were advised that Lufthansa will only release that information to the ticketed passenger(s).

      Crawford is saying that i did not provide information showing a refund and that i was frustrated by the documentation required, which is not correct.  I was frustrated by sending the information several times and it still being asked for.  On 1/11/2023 i sent them documentation from Booking.com stating that my flight was non-refundable.  On 2/1/2023 I sent the same information again, plus documentation from Lufthansa stating that they couldn't refund because i had booked through Booking.com.  I then included the information again from Booking.com that says it was non-refundable.  I don't know how else to prove that i did not receive a refund.  I sent everything i have.

      I did receive a call yesterday morning from a Senior Adjustor but was in a meeting and couldn't pick up.  I then called back and left a voicemail with my information.  I again called this morning and left a voice mail and the best time to reach me.

      I just want to get this rectified.

      I was in an auto accident in September 2022 in a rental car; i purchased the rental car with my AmEx because it has extra medical benefits in the event of an accident. I have provided all of the requested information to Broadspire or Crawford Company or Chubb, they are all 3 listed on the letter head. it has taken some time to get all of the information they requested but the last piece was uploaded on February 1, 2023. I have made many attempts at calling, leaving messages and sending emails but still have not gotten a response. I need to get the information so I can have my medical bills paid.

      To Whom It May ****************** received the consumer complaint regarding the above-captioned claim. The claim was handled by our third-party claim administrator, Broadspire Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Crawford & Company.  In their complaint,the consumer expressed frustration with the long claim process and lack of response from Broadspire; the consumer is requesting a response, so they can get their medical bills paid.

      We apologize for any delays the consumer experienced during the Broadspire claim process. We reviewed the claim and have confirmed that the policy administered by Broadspire does not include medical benefits; this is a Loss Damage Waiver policy that covers damage to vehicles rented with the eligible credit card. The consumer may have a relevant medical benefit through their credit card, but it is not insured under this policy. On February 22, 2023 and March 3, 2023,Broadspire informed the consumer that this policy only covers losses to the rental vehicle. The consumer should call the number on the back of their credit card to inquire about any medical benefits available to them.

      Should you have any additional questions or concerns,please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

      Sincerely,

      I purchased travel with insurance company Xcover and Broadspire is the administrator. I opened my claim for fare reimbursement due to my spouse medical condition and inability to travel Internationally. I have provided all of the documentation requested in mid-January and there's been no resolution despite the numerous attempts and communication to Broadspire who is the administrator for my claim. It's been a lengthy process and I've complied with all the necessary documentation including medical statements from physician. I am asking for a resolution, and it's been an exhausting chase. I've escalated to Broadspire internal management. team and was contacted a few weeks ago, but since then it's been at a standstill. I'm uncertain of legal time frame an insurance company has to process claims, but this appears to be an unacceptable amount of waiting since started the process in December 2022.
